WCS Sophomores on
Target for College
(May 2009) Westbury Christian High School sophomores recently took the PLAN (Pre-ACT) assessment test. According to Mr. Mike White, WCS guidance counselor, the PLAN results show that the entire sophomore class is on target to meet ACT’s College Readiness Benchmarks by graduation. White said ACT’s College Readiness Benchmarks are empirically-based and identify the level of achievement in English, mathematics, reading and science to have a successful college freshman experience.
During a recent all school chapel, six of these sophomores, Ben Calder, Ian Frank, Betsy Kelly, Paris Lake, Amber Orrange, and Paul Pollard were awarded the “Texas Student Achievement Award” from the Texas ACT Council for their performance on the PLAN (the Pre-ACT) Assessment. White noted that these six students scored in the upper 16 percentile in the entire state of Texas and exceeded the benchmarks set by ACT.
According to Karen Pennell, ACT Assistant Vice President and Southwest Regional Manager, “We want to recognize that student PLAN (Pre-ACT) achievement is the result of a strong commitment by WCS teachers, staff, administrators and parents to increase college readiness for all students.”
